Salvino Marsura Attaccapanni a stelo (coat stand)

A surrealist sensibility guides the curves of this delicately wrought coat stand. Outstretched branches curl, bud-like forms emerge from a petal-like base.

The piece is in good condition, featuring patination true to its age.

Salvino Marsura (1938-2020) was an artisan metalworker. After learning his craft in the dynamic workshop of sculptor and ‘iron poet’ Toni Benetton, he spent more than 60 years producing sculpture, furniture, objects and memorials in his hometown of Treviso, Italy.

Marsura’s ironwork art and furniture relishes in the manual aesthetic of the forge, giving voice to the raw metal and the processes of its manipulation including sweltering heat, hammering, bending and welding. His distinctive hand marries elements of brutalism and traditional decorative arts.
